Robert Yandow trounced incumbent George Baron, 379-230, for a three-year term as selectman.

The library will be expanded and remodeled at a total cost of $250,000. Residents voted 468-166 to chip in $150,000 in local funds. The $35,000 project to repair and insulate the school roof was passed 548-84. The $35,000 purchase of a new school bus won approval, 488-143, and voters agreed to allocate for a fire station addition. The Yandow-Barron race was the only contest for selectman.

Richard Bell got 436 votes and Douglas Law-son got 464 votes in their unopposed bids for one-year terms. Gerald Robinson defeated Sarita Austin, 309-256, for a two-year term as school director. Anthony Lamb garnered 553 votes in an uncontested election for a three-year School Board term. Charles Pillsbury swept past Helena Lanuville, 419-185, to win thf title of brick church trustee. Janet Lawson racked up 568 votes running unopposed for the post of Champlain Valley Union High School director.

Marvin Clark was unopposed in a bid for moderator. Landfill question required two-thirds, or 66.7, for approval. Ves, No Aldermen JfwCOWSe GefS Nod as Mayor in Winooski Board of At-a-Glance By EVE RAIMON Special to the Free Press Voters in Winooski promoted Ronald "Pete" Lacourse from his council seat to the mayor's seat Tuesday with a decisive two-to-one victory over his nearest opponent. In addition, they passed by wide margins two ballot items designed to allow improvement in the quality of city streets. Both of the charter change measures including a street excavation fee similar to a proposal in Burlington will require approval from the Vermont Legislature before becoming law.

In the mayor's race, Lacourse was perceived as the frontrunner and was challenged by political newcomers Bette Niles Lovejoy and Carl Boivin. along Main and Allen streets. The restrictions are aimed at the trucks that carry wood chips to the McNeil wood-burning power plant operated by the Burlington Electric Dept. "The roads are in the condition they are in because of those heavy trucks," said Pauline Schmoll, Winooski city clerk. "This is a first step." The measure would require a change of the city charter, and as such will also need approval from the legislature, said Schmoll.

She said the city has not studied ways in which the provision could be enforced. Other winners in last night's elections include former Councilor Florence Thabault, 70, who ran unopposed for a fifth term. She was first elected to the council in 1976. and lost a bid for a fifth term by four votes last March. Thabault garnered 822 votes, while Normand Shaw, also unopposed, captured 659 to take the other available council seat.

Shaw, 43, served on the council in 1974-1975 and has been chairman of the Housing Authority Board for 11 years. Winooski's two new school trustees are Skip Tipson and Bernard Bingel. Voters returned Marguerite Pearson and Jeanette Valliere to the board. "I haven't been back from Texas long enough," said Boivin. "People were not fully aware of me." Lacourse, the victorin what the participants themselves described as a "friendly" campaign, said he won because Winooski residents "like to see people come up through the ranks." The position of mayor in Winooski is a citizen-held post, with most of the day-to-day functions of city government handled by a city manager.

Lacourse, a senior lab specialist at International Business Machines Corp. in Essex Junction, was appointed to the Winooski City Council in 1982 and retained his seat as the top vote-getter a year later. Lacourse said his priorities as mayor will include completion of the new municipal garage as well as restoring city streets. "We want control of our streets," Lacourse said. The majority of Winooski voters appeared to agree with the mayor-elect.

By, a 657-196 vote they approved a measure to authorize the City Council to impose a street excavation fee pending legislative approval. In addition, voters said yes by a vote of 739-140 to an item setting weight restrictions for trucks traveling Complete, But Unofficial fasufts Votes Pet. WarcM Keith Pillsbury (I) 698 45.6 James D.

"I feel fine about the outcome," said Lovejoy after conceding to Lacourse. "I gave it my best shot. The voters do what they want." Boivin returned to Winooski last year from Texas.

He said his absence may account for his poor showing. 7 200 Turn Out in Huntington By JIM CHENG free Press Staff Writer HUNTINGTON Selectman Roderick Ross stood in front of the Town Meeting Day crowd packed into the Brewster Pierce School cafeteria explaining the 1985 in tones just loud enough to be heard over the Jium of the ventilator. The contraption shut off suddenly, catching Ross in -mid-shout. He looked heavenward and laughed. "At least we can be heard now.

We might freeze to "3eath, but I think there'll be enough hot air floating ITaround up here to keep us warm," he said. I Warmth was the key adjective on a snowy Tuesday as 200 residents braved wintry weather to participate in the New England ritual that is as much a social as a Apolitical occasion. In the day's only election contest, Mark Smith out-ipolled incumbent Selectman Alan Buchanan 154-109 for a three-year post. Newcomer Edwin Guilfoy was elected 4o the School Board without opposition, replacing Paula -Kelley, who did not seek re-election. T.

In other action, the assembly voted 151-119 to ap-' prove a revision in the town zoning ordinance which jjvould change zoning from one-acre zoning throughout -Huntington to a mixture of densities. In the four-hour meeting, talk ranged from concerns "labout nuclear proliferation to road reconstruction. The latter topic generated the heat at Tuesday's meeting as a discussion of the town paving program turned into a debate over the merits of a proposed of the Sherman Hollow ski touring resort. Voters eventually decided to table a plan to upgrade a joad to the ski resort, pending the outcome of District 4 -Environmental Commission proceedings now underway. Sherman Hollow Inc.

is seeking a land use permit Act 250, the state's development control law. Developers have proposed installing lighting on the -resort's 40 kilometers of trails, cut trees and contruct an Many of those in attendance Tuesday have organized in opposition to the project, citing the potential traffic and sewer problems that might result because of the expansion. At issue was the scope of item on the warning that would upgrade Sherman Hollow Road from State Aid 1 to the entrance of the Sherman Hollow development. Under a resolution adopted in 1979, all proposals for the improvement of town roads must be put before residents for a vote. Said John Reilly, a resident of the village of Hanksville which is part of Huntington, "It seems what we're dealing with is a difference in philosophy.

The resort is definitely going to change our way of life." Reilly said the Sugarbush ski area in Warren has had a negative effect on the Mad River Valley. Lisa Barrett, a resident of Sherman Hollow Road, drew applause from the assembly when she said the expansion would put the town's future in jeopardy. Selectman Ross presented the background to the Sherman Hollow case and repeated the Board of Selectmen's support of the project. "We've never said it will be a financial windfall to the town but it will help our tax base," he said. The majority of the morning was devoted to a discussion of the town's road reconstruction.

Selectmen had proposed an allocation of $75,000 for road improvement, beginning with the main road between the Richmond line and the lower village area. The improvement program accounts for much of the 78-cent tax rate. An amendment to decrease the amount for road improvement from $75,000 to $58,000 was defeated and the assembly passed the $327,874 town budget as proposed. The audience also approved a motion from the floor calling for the reductiori of the nation's nuclear arsenal and a freeze on production. In 1982, 160 Vermont towns approved a similar nuclear freeze resolution.
